Well, I checked the prices available so far...

The NVidia Quadro NVS 290 PCIe x1 cards are around $150 !!!

And for the Geforce 210 PCIe x1 cards, like the GT218, as you said, it seems 
none are shipping currently, but will soon. I hope the price is less than the 
NVS 290. See here:

One thing I noticed is that the GT218 (albatron) seems to be a PCIe 2.0 1x card.
I'm not 100% certain but I think my PCIe is probably a version prior to version 
2.0, so version 1.0 ? Will that give a problem, or are PCIe versions 1.0 and 
2.0 compatible?

Cheers,
Simon
